(according to Yesasia and CD Japan)
WHEE THE SECOND DVD OF THE PRINCE OF TENNIS ZENKOKU TAIKAI HEN SEMIFINAL OVA SERIES IS OUT
Bwahaha, I can't wait until these episodes are released online.
The first episode is without a doubt the funniest match in the entire series, while the second is without a doubt the bloodiest match in the whole series.
Yes, even bloodier than Inui/Kaidou vs Yanagi/Kirahara. But if you've read up to that match, you knew that anyway, so whatever.
The first episode is Momo and Kaidou playing doubles against the only confirmed gay duo in the entire series (though we all know the Golden Pair are having sex behind the scenes), Konjiki Koharu and Hitouji Yuuji from Shitenhouji.
I mean seriously, look at them.
Koharu hits on Kaidou at one point. It's extremely amusing. He actually grabs Kaidou's ass. xD Then Kaidou gets pissed (he doesn't want to cheat on his Inui-senpai) and goes to hit him...
Then it turns out Koharu is a genius with an IQ of over 200 (YAY SHIKAMARU)...and he knows LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of embarrassing moments Kaidou had as a little kid.
I WANT TO KNOW THE END OF THAT SENTENCE. D:
Oh dear lord I really really really hope the anime creators humor us and put in a picture of cute little kindergarten Kaoru-chan wearing a skirt. <333333 FLASHBACKS WOULD BE EVEN BETTER
I figure it's the perfect sponsor background image. Too bad they don't have the sponsor scenes in the OVA series since it's going directly to DVD...
ANYWAY, I absolutely love the mental image I'm getting right now. xD I'm kinda thinking of chibi Tenipuri family Kaoru-chan (who is the most ADORABLE THING I'VE EVER SEEN btw)...which is why I need to find a non-chibi image of little-kid Kaidou in a skirt...xDDD I bet there's one out there...
So anyway, to get off the subject of Kaidou crossdressing...
Both Momo and Kaidou get sucked into Koharu/Yuuji's playstyle, so then Momo has the great idea of covering their faces...
...with wrestling masks...
Yeah, they play with wrestling masks on, and crap happens, and I won't spoil it for anyone...
Then onto episode 2 on the DVD. It's episode 4 of the Semifinals, and episode 17 of the overall Nationals.
As I said, it's the bloodiest match in the entire series. Oh joy.
Kawamura Takashi vs Ishida Gin. Yeah, Ishida Tetsu from Fudoumine's older brother. He's the guy who taught Tetsu the Hadoukyuu. And lo and behold, his Hadoukyuu is MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE POWERFUL than Tetsu's.
So this turns out to be a power battle. It's the first time we see Taka as a freshman (if I remember correctly)- a cute scene where he has tons of power but absolutely no control, and everyone's making fun of him, but then the other soon-to-be-regular first years (Tezuka, Ooishi, Eiji, Fuji, Inui) come up to him and tell him they envy him for his power. <33 LUFF FOR TAKA-SAN~ <333333
So then he decides that his goal is to become the #1 power player in Japan, since he's not good at anything else.
He's playing against the #1 power player in Japan- he has over 100 levels of Hadoukyuu, and Taka's is only equal to one of like the first ten or so. Something like that, too lazy to look it up...basically Taka's Hadoukyuu fails compared to his. However, Taka doesn't want to give up a power battle, and uses the ONE-HANDED Hadoukyuu every single time he hits the ball. WHICH SHOULD KILL HIS ARM. Sigh. What people are willing to do for freaking tennis.
Anyway.
There's also the whole angst thing about this being his last tennis tournament EVER due to him quitting after middle school in order to become a sushi chef.
Seriously, if you're willing to kill your arm for tennis, I'd suggest sticking with it.
Anyway.
Gin's uber powerful, and even though he can just nullify all of Taka's Hadoukyuu he decides to respect Taka by defeating him with his full power.
And then Taka gets uber beaten up.
See that little explosion waaay up there in the stands?
That's Taka crashing into the stands after being hit with Gin's 21st-style Hadoukyuu.
Oh dear lord this guy is powerful.
So Taka's like dying here, and then Gin gets to the 23rd-style Hadoukyuu.
And of course Taka goes FLYING back into the stands, waaay up at the top.
And then the moment we've ALL BEEN WAITING FOR...(well, not really, but it sounds more dramatic that way)
AKUTSU'S RETURN~!
YAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY
(which reminds me, I have a bit of a story to tell involving Yamabuki and the dub, but that's for another time)
Seriously, if Akutsu/Dan wasn't my Yamabuki OTP, I'd so write Akutsu/Taka. <3333 Akutsu says he doesn't care about anything like this, but you know he cares about his childhood friend Taka...<3 And Taka has no one in Seigaku. All the other regulars can be paired up, but there's an odd number, and Taka's always the odd one out...
Anyway.
So then it's match point for Ishida, and it's Taka's serve, and Taka desperately wants to just get ONE POINT from Ishida...but as he starts to serve he starts to lose consciousness...and he accidentally hits the ball with the edge of the racket.
Which results in an UBER POWERFUL SHOT that's not a Hadoukyuu but is as powerful as Ishida's 40th Hadoukyuu...and when Ishida tries to neutralize it, he realizes it's not a Hadoukyuu, and then it breaks his wrist!
SO HE FORFEITS AND TAKA'S THE NUMBER ONE POWER PLAYER IN ALL OF JAPAN YAAAAAYYYY!
So anyway, I totally can't wait until these episodes get on the internet. These are gonna kick-ass...xD
I'm not even gonna wait for the sub...I've read the manga, I don't really need the subs to get what's going on. xD
